What are some of the best Texas Hold'em books around?

Re: Best Texas Hold\'em Books
 

You could be a little more detailed in your request. What do you play? Limit? No-Limit? Pot-Limit? Live? On-line? Micro, Small, Mid, High stakes?

The best book for poker in general is widely stated as being Theory of Poker by Sklansky.

Hi Veritas

As deacsoft said, if you can provide a bit more info. on what type of game you are interested in, then we can provide more specific recommendations.

Anyway, these are generally considered amongst the best:

The Theory of Poker- David Sklansky

Internet Texas Hold'em- Matthew Hilger

Small Stakes Hold'em- Ed Miller, David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth

Hold'em Poker For Advanced Players- David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth

Harrington on Hold'em 1 and 2- Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie

Super System 2- Doyle Brunson

There are some other books, but these can be listed when you let us know what you are looking for.

I play no limit

Re: Best Texas Hold\'em Books
 

If you play NL cash:

Super System 2

Pot Limit and no Limit Poker

If you are quite new to the game, then Getting Started In Hold'em would be a good place to begin.

If you play tournaments:

Harrington on Hold'em 1 and 2

The Little Green Book of Poker- Phil Gordon

A couple of quick notes.

1. The chapter in Super System will have to be adjusted a bit to have success at lower levels.

2. Although the book Pot Limit and No Limit Poker isn't purely dedicated to Hold'em (other games included) it is currently among the best right now for cash games.

3. Although Harrington on Hold'em is for tournament play, much of the advice can be carried forward to cash game play.

Dude,
You've made it to the 2+2 forums, so I'd guess you have a good idea of what the best books are.
